Problem
A student’s diagram shows a light ray traveling inside water (n=1.33) toward a water–air boundary at 40∘ to the normal, but the student has drawn the refracted ray in air bending toward the normal. Identify the mistake and describe the correct qualitative path of the refracted ray. Then state how the refracted angle would change if the incident angle were increased to 60∘.
